clicky
Makes small sounds
Clicky describes something that makes a clicking sound, especially repeatedly or satisfyingly.
Mechanical keyboards are prized for being clicky—each keystroke produces a tactile snap.
The word often carries positive connotations among enthusiasts: I love how clicky this mouse feels.
A clicky pen, a clicky camera shutter, a clicky joint in someone's knee.
